Northwood HQ is a military headquarters that hosts five operational HQs, including NATO’s Allied Maritime Command
Together, on Monday 27th October, we officially opened a new coffee area located within the headquarters.
The launch event was attended by key representatives from Northwood HQ, with our CEO and Founder, Nigel, delivering a short speech before formally declaring the space open.
Nigel said:
Northwood HQ is a major local employer, so effective outreach into this community is vital.
The new coffee shop isn’t just about serving great coffee, it’s about creating a safe, welcoming space where people can pause and connect.
For us, coffee is more than a drink — it’s a catalyst for conversation. With so many service personnel and families living and working here, this café is about more than coffee; it’s about connection and community.
We’re proud to bring Combat2Coffee’s mission into Northwood HQ, serving quality coffee with purpose, and reminding everyone that it’s okay to talk, and it’s okay to ask for help.
Tony Marshall, Vercity Operations Manager said:
We are proud to announce the arrival of Combat2Coffee, a social enterprise bringing high-quality coffee with a powerful mission.
Every cup served helps fund vital welfare support for Veterans, turning daily coffee breaks into meaningful acts of support.
This partnership reflects Northwood HQ’s ongoing commitment to community wellbeing and veteran care.
We are excited about the future of this partnership and look forward to ongoing collaboration with Vercity and Combat2Coffee.
